The Wolverine review

Guess who's baccccccck!!!

The Wolverine review – First of
all, I’m starting to lose track of the prequel, sequel and current timeline for
the whole X-Men series. I thought this flick was sequel for X-Men Origins: Wolverine tapi rupa-rupanya it’s the sequel
for X-Men: The Last Stand but some sites says this is a stand-alone movie. Ntah
ler aku pun tak paham. What I understand is Wolverine is part of The X-Men.
Full stop.

Like my 'extended nails'?

When
I first saw the trailer for this movie, I thought either it’s gonna be awesome
or erk!. Lepas dah tengok, I’m rating it in between awesome and erk!. Some
scenes are damn powerful while others just fell flat. If you ask me, it
felt more like Wolverine was being featured in this picture instead of being
the main focus. It’s like Wolverine longing to be Logan, the human after losing the love of his life, Jean Grey. Logan appears trying to save a Japanese
chick (Mariko) whose dad was also saved by him years before. Logan gets invited
to Japan the say goodbye to the dying Yashida whom have since become one of the
powerful man in Land of The Rising Sun. Little did Logan know, this dying
Japanese old man had some other plan for him. Enter other supporting Nippon
characters here and there and you pretty much feel like you have learned quite
a bit of Japanese culture in case you are visiting Tokyo sometime in the
future.

Leave the Samurai sword to the Ninja's please.

Hugh
Jackman was in his usual buffed body with veins popping out like it’s gonna
explode if he growl any further! He was shirtless most of the times to the
delight of his female fans. He really does embody the animal in human body
well. I can’t think of anybody else playing one of the most loved Marvel
character. Case of point…cuba imagine Ryan Gosling with claws coming out his
hands…not nice kan? Coming across his training regimen in order to bring
Wolverine to the bring screen, this dude memang committed giler and deserve all
the praise. However I feel something fell short. It was just not the same good
feeling I had with the rest of the X-Men franchise. Even with appearance of
Jean Grey once in a while, which after sometime got quite annoying, die ready
kan? So stay dead lar Jean! Why mess up an already messed up guy’s brain?

Time for a break maybe Wolverine?

I don’t
know man…maybe I’m getting tired of Wolverine hogging all the limelight from his
other X-Men gang. Perhaps it’s time for Wolverine to rest for a while and maybe
let Gambit, Cyclops or Storm have their spotlight. If there’s gonna be a
prequel, sequel or whatnot, I can’t think how else they gona ‘milk’ Wolverine/Logan
role. My verdict for this…watch it if you want or don’t, it’s up to you. If you
decide to catch it, stay till the end of credit because I think that last few
minutes was far more exciting compared to this almost two (2) hour long
feature.

Thank you hot magazine for the goodies and awesome pre-screening party!
